-Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) in The Ugly Truth
The truth in indeed ugly.
At the end of the day,men will always be men;we are genetically hotwired to sow our wild oats to ensure survival of our lineage.The same goes for women since they are programmed to look for qualitites in potential mates that indicate a certain degree in security,whether physical or otherwise.
Put it this way,not even the most liberal SNAG,metrosexual or other whatnots will look upon a lady whose looks totally put them off to be their life partner;or for that matter,nor will the most simpleminded woman agree to a courtship unless the suitor has that teeny weeny bit of potential to better provide for the family than he can right now.
It is just that simple,that superficial.The world is unfair;it is that bleak.I am not attempting to find excuses for such superficiality but I suppose that the sooner this is recognised,the more hurt will be spared....
Game,set and match.Play by the game or drop out.I know damn well which option I have had chosen;there was only one option for me anyway.It is not that bad at all;turtleshelling never was,at least not for me.

World may be unfair. But not everyone is that superficial. There are really many cases where looks doesn't matter, and love is still there. When you know a person long enough, you will realize that however beautiful or handsome she/he may look, it doesn't last. Ultimately, it is the character that lasts and that's the main quality you fell in love with.
Would you not admit that the first impression is formed of a personb based on his/her looks?In the premises,I failed to see how that is not superficial and I shall be grateful if you can illuminate.
Isn't it an irony that character,which has been regarded as the single most important criteria,only comes into play when an opinion has been formed based on looks or the lack thereof?
Indeed, first impression is based on looks. Cause that's the only thing that tells you about that person when you first know him mah.
To me, being superficial only happens when you try to know/get closer to the person just because he/she is good looking.
If in the case where you only have the impression that the person is good looking, but doesn't put in extra effort to know the person, then it's not really superficial ba.
Lol, like writing essay.

You will only want to get to know a person if you have had a good first impression of him/her,which is something that even you would be inclined to agree to.Therein lies the fallacy of your premise,does it not?
No ah. Apparently I will want to know people I don't have good 1st impression too. Lol.
In which case I shall humbly submit that you are the exception rather than the rule.
I like it. You nailed what has been gorging inside my gut. Superficiality aside, what is love? To be honest, I am so sick of how we homo(sapiens) have evolved over time...but society has a part to play... think of the asthetic masses we have these days.. the proliferation of beauty and brawn, against the backdrop of socially unacceptable geeks and laypersons... what's decency? How do you define how someone looks? What if you have a non-conforming look that straddles you in the space of fat, short, ugly and unadorable? Everyone's chasing that elusive look and things are getting absurd by the day... "Beauty" objects grace the magazines...not your typical layman off the street. What statement are they trying to prove?
Which is why I thought that there are better things to do in life than these....
hahaha..i give u my vote. im superficial.
